This year is moving right along for me. My term as President of the Fort Worth Branch is at the midpoint. The term of service is short as President and I’ve learned you must pass on ideas and tasks to future ASCE leaders to accomplish long term goals. We are working to implement Branch institutes to better serve our membership. ASCE as an organization is looking to the future. I attended the Texas Section-ASCE spring meeting in Austin in April. The national ASCE President Blaine Leonard was in attendance. Blaine shared the national ASCE Vision 2025. National ASCE has rolled out a newly revamped website. Take a look at www.asce.org . The society is look-ing forward to what issues may be facing us as engineers in 2025. ASCE reinforced this by making this year’s Daniel Mead ethics paper topic “What ethical problems might the engineer of 2025 encounter with advancements in technology and communication?” I was privileged to have been a judge for the students’ Daniel Mead papers and presentations.

Fort Worth Branch Transportation and Development Institute

The Transportation and Development Institute (T&DI), Fort Worth Branch has come together to select an executive committee, design our bylaws and method of operation, and apply for formal approval as a local branch of the national Transportation and Development Institute of ASCE. The board members have been working towards the goal of developing a group that

will be able to provide additional value for Fort Worth ASCE members involved in transportation and development, as well as bring in those outside of ASCE who are involved in these fields. We will accomplish this through Institute meetings, transportation and development specific speakers, providing opportunities for networking, and assembling research seminars to keep up with the latest developments in these fields.

Our chapter board consists of:• President, Mr. Mike McNerney, PhD, PE• Vice President Mr. Brett Schock, PE, AICP• Secretary Mr. Scott Graves, PE• Treasurer Mr. Scott Hudson, PE• Program Director Mr. Doyle Smith, PE.

We have also begun outreach, through our liaison, Dr. Saty Satyamurti, with graduate students at the University of Texas-Arlington to get the students involved in our chapter.

We hope to hold our first general meeting of the Fort Worth ASCE T&DI membership in the coming months, and will be holding a short organizational meeting fol-lowing the May ASCE Fort Worth meeting. We would like to invite anyone who is already a member of T&DI, or is interested in hearing more about our Institute to attend. If you have any questions, you may contact Mike McNerney at [email protected], or Brett Schock at [email protected].

YOUNGER MEMBERS NEWSBy Travis Attanasio

Another year…another golf tournamentAlthough the weather seemed menacing, the rain held off all day and members from the Fort Worth Branch Younger Member Group planned and executed another successful golf tournament this year with the proceeds funding the Branch scholarship endowment at the University of Texas – Arlington. This year the golf tournament rose over $4,500. The Branch and the Younger Member Group would like to send a big thank you to all the players in the tournament and especially to the volunteers who helped out on the tournament day.

More photos from the tournament can be seen on the group’s Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/group.php?gid=464074740526

1955 – 1959 – EARLY YEARS IN THE FORT WORTH BRANCH

A.S.C.E.

The following is a description of some of the members and activities of the Fort Worth Branch during the “early years.”Much of this information is taken from“The History of the Fort Worth Branch, Texas Section,American Society of Civil Engineers for the Years 1931 to 1970”,by H. H. Hester (a former Branch Historian & a Life Member, A.S.C.E.)

The post-WWII decades were an exciting time of growth, not only in our nation but in the Fort Worth Branch A.S.C.E. In a continuing review of the early history of our Branch, let’s look at the period 1955-1959.

The 1955 Texas Section Fall Meeting was held in Fort Worth October 13th-15th.

On May 7, 1956 the Gruen Plan was presented to the Branch with slides, and a general discussion of the advantages that such a plan would have on the future development of the City of Fort Worth. Some were of the opinion that the cost to undertake such a colossal project would perhaps be prohibitive.

On July 25, 1957 the Fort Worth Branch had as its honored guests some National, State, and Local Officers of the A.S.C.E. at a banquet at the Ridglea Country Club. Among the guest were Mr. Mason Lock-wood, President, A.S.C.E. , Walter L. Moore, President, Texas Section, Uel Stephens, President-elect, Texas Section, Randle B. Alexander, National Director, and Mr. Ralph Hardy, President, Fort Worth Branch. After a welcoming address by Hardy the meeting was turned over to Mr. Marvin Nichols who introduced the honored guest, each of whom gave a brief response. This meeting was a milestone in the history of the Fort Worth Branch, since it brought together so many leaders of "the Society.

Of local interest in the fast growing Fort Worth region, the 31-mile long Dallas-Fort Worth Turnpike, constructed in seven simultaneous sections, was opened in 1957. That same year Arlington dam was completed and Lake Arlington was quickly created when spring rains filled in just 26 days, ending a severe seven-year drought in the region that had left both Lake Bridgeport and Eagle Mountain Lake almost empty and the City of Fort Worth just eight months from running out of water. The Village Creek wastewater treatment plant was constructed in 1958.

On February 10, 1958, R. S. Gooch presented his A.S.C.E. prize win-

ning paper on "Morning-Glory Spillways in Texas.” Also in February 1958, Marvin Nichols was appointed Chairman of the State Board of Water Development. In 1960, Uel Stephens was recommended for membership on the State Board of Registered Professional Engi-neers, resulting in his appointment to this important post.

On June 16, 1958 a joint meeting between the Fort Worth and the Dallas Branches was held at Arlington. The speaker was Col. Walter Wells, Fort Worth District Engineer, Corps of Engineers, who gave a most interesting discussion of the work of the Corps of Engineers in Texas. Fort Worth member, and the 1958 President of the Texas Sec-tion, Uel Stephens and W. H. Sindt, President of the Texas Society of Professional Engineers were honored guests of the two Branches. Historically the Fort Worth Branch has always maintained a keen interest in the engineering school at Arlington, originally known as Arlington State College. Realizing the urgent need for a first class engineering school in the Fort Worth-Dallas area, the Fort Worth Branch began studies and exerted itself toward changing this Junior College to a full four year engineering school. Marvin Nichols and Joe Rady, working with the Chambers of Commerce of Arlington and Fort Worth, helped to start an active and finally well organized campaign for this purpose soon after the close of World War II. Numerous stud-ies and reports were made and presented to committees of the Texas Legislature.

At the Branch meeting on February 9, 1959, the matter of raising Ar-lington State College to four year level school was discussed, and the group very enthusiastically voted to recommend to the Texas Com-mission on Higher education that this change be made. Copies of the Resolution passed were sent to all members of the State Legislature. These activities bore fruit when in 1959 the Legislature authorized the change of Arlington State College to a four year school.

As the Korean War had ended only a few years before, America had only a few years of normalcy before the United States escalated involvement in Vietnam after the first deaths there of American military advisors in what would become known to Americans as the “Vietnam War” (1959-1972).

In 1959. the Texas Section’s membership had grown to 1,221 subscribing members and the Texas Section Fall Meeting was held in Fort Worth that October 1st-3rd.

The Presidents of the Fort Worth Branch during the second half of this decade were:1955 A. Blan Bell 1956 Ralph Hardy 1957 Charlie M. Moore 1958 James R. Nichols 1959 Marshall W. Amis, Jr.

AWARDSCowboys Stadium receives

Texas ASCE 2009 Outstanding Civil Engineering Achievement Award.

The Cowboy Stadium was completed in June 2009. The nomination for the award was supported by both the Dallas and Fort Worth Branches of ASCE. The structure cost $1.15 billion, contains 80,000 seats and has a 100,000 person capacity. Within the three million square feet, there are at least three structural engineering world records:

• The world’s longest single-span roof structure supported by twin arch steel box trusses that span 1,225’ between abutments. Each 17’ wide x 35’ deep truss weighs 3,255 tons and transfers 19 million lbs of thrust at each end into four concrete abutments.

• A retractable roof with two 290’ x 220’ bi-parting, mechanized translucent fabric-covered panels that open/close within 12 minutes. It is the first rack-and-pinion drive roof and is powered by 64 7.5 hp motors. It has the steepest retractable roof pitch (26o) in North America.

• The world’s largest (at 25,000 sq ft) center-hung, high-definition video display board suspended 90’ directly over the 50-yard line, with two sideline displays each measuring 71.5 feet high and 160 feet wide.

• The world’s largest operable glass doors consisting of moveable five panels that each measure 180’ wide x120’ high. These are located at each end zone plaza and open/close within minutes.

With its 660,800 square feet, the stadium’s roof is one of the largest domed structures in the world.

Setting Yourself Apart In a Tough Job MarketKyle Kromer

For the first time in years, engineering employers are collectively letting more people go than they are hiring. So it begs the question with all of the candidates on the market, how do I set myself apart from the rest of the crowd and get hired again? We are going to explore that question in depth and see what industry leaders in some of the top civil design firms in Fort Worth, as well as the United States offer as to what helps candidates stand out. We will give you some solid action steps to get you moving in the right direction.

When looking for an opportunity it is vital to understand what source firms use to identify prospective hires. Ron Ramirez, who is a Principal and Vice President with Wier & Associates, says “by far their best resource for hiring is through employee referrals.” That holds true with each of the people that I talked with about their most effective hiring sources. The best hires are either employee referrals or are made through networking. So, call everyone in your network, be persistent, be professional and let them know you are interested in opportunities within their organization. Make sure you attend every meeting of professional societies you belong to and every event they sponsor. Your job is obtaining your next career step and if the most prevalent hiring source for firms is employee referrals and networking it stands to reason you should be spending a lot of time networking. With that being the case it makes sense that you get to know as many people in the market that you can. It really is who you know, and who knows you.

So where does standing out start? For Lisa Melane, Sr. Recruiter with HNTB, “it starts with the ability to demonstrate leadership.” It ties to being able to quickly understand an organization, finding out what the organization’s vision is and where they are going and how well what you offer aligns with what the company is looking for. Amy Caster, Staffing Specialist for Freese & Nichols says “it is that very first communication that helps a candidate stand out, be it a phone call, an email, or a resume submittal.” Exhibiting confidence & leadership, on a resume, through a phone call, or in a personal interview, is highly important to being successful at landing that position.

Every time you apply for a specific job take a look at your resume. Do you have the technical capabilities that match the job specification, and are they easy to find? Have you evaluated your objective and how well it aligns with the culture of the company to which you are applying? Have you made sure you highlighted all of the things you have done to advance your career? Are you sending the same resume out for every job you apply for? Many times the first contact you will have with a company is with either the internal recruiter or the hiring manager when they first view your resume. If it is generic and they have to scan through to find relevant experience, you may get the same generic response - nothing. Or “Thanks for applying, we will keep your resume and get back with you when we have an opportunity that is a fit opens up.” Lisa Melane said “I’ve heard most recruiters read a resume for ten seconds”. If that’s the case you need to get the most pertinent information as close to the top of the resume as possible. If your resume is the first contact you have with a company make sure you tailor it to fit, both the job by quickly highlighting relevant experience and the culture of the company as best you can. Once the resume makes it past the first quick screen highlighting leadership activities through professional organizations, extra curricular activities and career advancement should be your next priority.

With your resume tailored and submitted through a friend you made through ASCE, you have an interview set up. When you get to this point, either for a phone or a face to face interview, confidence and enthusiasm become key factors to your success. Keep in mind that how you treat the receptionist, the human resources professional and the hiring manager are all vital. Ron Ramirez with Wier & Associates says “I need a person that is confident; it speaks directly to that person’s professionalism.” In preparing for the interview think through questions that might be asked and write down the answers. Most companies now utilize some type of behavioral interviewing system. The questions they ask will focus on what you have done, what you accomplished, or how you got out of tough situations with clients, co-workers or supervisors. The interviewers will want specifics, and they will drill down for more and more specifics. The better you can recall and speak to your past history and accomplishments the more confi-dent you will be. The more confident, the more likely it is that you will stand out, and in the end land the job. Though it is your job during the interview to talk, make sure you listen intently to the questions asked as well. It can be hard to accurately assess how well you will fit with the company if you are not answer-ing the question that was asked of you. Make sure as you wrap up the interview that you have prepared and asked good questions. Asking how you fit into an organization, who will you report to and questions about the team you will be working with are all seen very positively. It shows that you already see yourself in the role and want to understand how you will fit with the company.

The interview is over, what now? Follow up, follow up, and follow up with every person you came in contact with during the process. Make sure you thank them for their time and emphasize that you are interested in the company and the position as well as why you think you are a great fit for the role. Amy Caster says “Across the board follow up is very lacking and those that do really stand out for me.” Ron Ramirez suggested that the “handwritten follow up notes really make a positive impact on me. It’s about relationships and it tells me they are in it for the long haul.”

To sum it up:

• Employee referrals are the #1 source of hires for most civil firms – so network with everyone you know now and get to know as many new people as you can.

• Tailor your resume to the specific job you are applying for. Make sure the technical experience needed in the job is highlighted quickly.

• Be confident & positive – in the phone interview, in the personal interview and with every person you come in contact with.

• Prepare for the interview – think through your career highlights the good and the tough times and be ready to talk about them in detail.

• Follow up, Follow up, Follow up

Will you set yourself apart? Will you do what it takes to land the opportunity presented to you? One final thought that came from Ron Ramirez “It is very important to treat every opportunity like it is the only one you have, because in this market it might be.”
